Brief Title: Phase 2 Study of Autologous Followed by Nonmyeloablative Allogeneic Transplantation Using TLI & ATG
Official Title: A Phase 2 Study of Autologous Followed by Nonmyeloablative Allogeneic Transplantation Using Total Lymphoid Irradiation (TLI) and Antithymocyte Globulin (ATG) in Multiple Myeloma Patients
Study ID: NCT00899847
Brief Summary: To evaluate the toxicity and tolerability of this tandem autologous/allogeneic transplant approach for patients with advanced stage multiple myeloma.
Detailed Description: Development of cell-based immunotherapy from allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is dependent upon stable T-cell engraftment and the success of this therapeutic approach is likely to be greatest when directed against a minimal rather than gross tumor burden. To this end, tandem transplants with high dose therapy and autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation (AHCT) for tumor cytoreduction followed by non-myeloablative allotransplant have been conducted. In myeloma, this tandem approach results in greater efficacy compared to conventional AHCT.
